Tower & Climber

Slide

Physical: sliding develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright going down.

Social-emotional: empathy stimulated by turn-taking.

Climbing net

Physical: the inclined net supports the upward climbing movement of the body. The net supports cross-body coordination, which impacts coordination of the right and left part of brain, fundamental for other skills such as the ability to read. The asymmetry of the net challenges the children’s climbing.

Balance ropes

Physical: the balance training here is unmistakable. Holding onto the swaying upper rope when balancing on the swaying lower rope makes excellent training of the sense of balance as well as the trunk muscles. These abilities are fundamental for being able to sit still on a chair.

Social-emotional: there is room for more than one and cooperating with friends on walking over the swaying ropes is a true cooperation task that takes teamwork and tolerance.

Climbing rope

Physical: the small knots add support for hands and feet when climbing onto the rope, crawling up or down. Climbing supports spatial awareness, cross coordination and muscle strength.

Social-emotional: passing others when climbing up or down develops turn-taking skills and consideration.

Climbing net

Physical: children develop cross-body coordination and muscle strength when climbing. The big meshes allow for climbing and crawling through, supporting proprioception and spatial awareness.

Social-emotional: the big meshes allow for more children to sit together and talk.

Parkour ropes

Physical: the big rubbery discs are great supports for the feet when climbing or crossing the module. This supports cross coordination, sense of balance and arm and leg muscles. This combination adds to the child’s general body adeptness and awareness, adding security to its movements.

Social-emotional: the seats make a nice destination and meeting point and take cooperation when crossing by others on the way through the module.
